A crematorium worker in Brazil got the shock of his life when he went to a hospital morgue to collect the body of a deceased 90-year-old woman, only to find that she was still alive, according to reports.

The nightmarish incident occurred in the city of São José on Saturday, just hours after staff at the hospital pronounced Norma Silveira da Silva dead.

The woman was zipped into a body bag and sent down to the morgue, where the unsuspecting undertaker made the chilling discovery.

The nonagenarian was taken back to a hospital room, but she was verifiably dead Monday morning.

Da Silva’s caretaker and friend Jessica Martins Silvi Pereira told the Brazilian news outlet Estadão that the 90-year-old had been admitted to São José Regional Hospital on Friday in very poor condition. She was said to be suffering from a problem with her liver and was unconscious.

After the 90-year-old was pronounced dead a second time, her new death certificate issued just before 5 a.m. listed her cause of death as “septic shock.”

Pereira said the patient’s family is planning to sue the hospital.

“It’s a neglect that I wouldn’t wish on anyone,” she said.

The state Department of Health has launched an investigation into the incident.
